Sooooooo hungry!!!

I am so hungry!! I had some toast for breakfast this morning, by 10am my stomach is rumbling...I then start to feel dizzy & faint / shaky, low blood sugar I guess so I make myself a bacon sandwich, still hungry so followed with a yoghurt & a galaxy ripple. It has not touched the sides, it's now 11.30am & my tummy is rumbling again! Surely it's not right to be like this all day?! Anyone else like this or any advice to prevent it?? I go back to work the week after next & I can't be eating like this or letting myself get dizzy etc...

This is me! All day yesterday from the moment I got up I did not stop eating!!!! I also felt dizzy so took the day off work!
Went shopping the other day and I actually need to go again cos I’ve just ate that much 😳

Woke up feeling the same today too - I’m back at work tomorrow and only get a one hour break all day, so I’m going to starve compared to today and yesterday!!

It's horrible!! The only benefit I have about returning to work is I will be on a phased return for 4 weeks (takes me more or less up to Easter half term) so hoping I can fit food / meals in around hours until it calms down / if it does!!

I know!! Hopefully it’ll calm down? Think I’m going to actually have to take a picnic bag of food and keep sneaking into the staffroom thoughout the day, because at this rate, I’ll be starvinggg!

It seems to have calmed down a bit now, but I've been like this, especially in the mornings. I just embraced it and ate when I was hungry - i.e. all the time. Just tried to make sure I was making reeeeasonably healthy choices, e.g. fruit, mini falafels and hummus, scrambled egg, grilled chicken, veg with a bit of grated cheese sprinkled over, wholegrain cereal with some seeds and dried fruit, etc. Porridge might be a good one if you like it (can't stand it myself) - it's filling, and provides slow-release energy to prevent blood sugar dips and spikes x

I totally lost my appetite for the first 13 weeks or so due to nausea but now I'm 15 weeks its allll coming back. Just had a chicken katsu curry for lunch...

I second the pp's advice that we eat healthily and aim for slow release food to prevent this hunger. It seems like a lot of us are reaching for the chocolate...I've basically lived off toast and crumpets so I need to start eating healthily.

Your growing child

4 month old, fourth week

Following a well-established nighttime routine may help settle your baby to sleep. Feed her, give her a bath, put her in her pyjamas, play a game, read her a book, sing songs or play some music, then put her down. Read More

5 month old, first week

Your baby can't express his emotions in the same complex way that you can. Although he can let you know in clear ways when he's angry, bored or happy, his ability to show love and humour are just developing. Read More

5 month old, second week

Your baby may start showing signs of one of his first major emotional milestones – stranger anxiety. He may become clingy and anxious around new (and even familiar!) people and may cry if a stranger suddenly approaches him. Read More

5 month old, third week

Your baby's getting better at spotting very small objects and tracking moving things. At this point, he may be able to recognise an object after seeing only part of it, like his favourite toy peeking out from under the couch. Read More
